How to contribute with testing
Sugar 0.96 is under heavy development at the moment and undergoing major changes. It is very important to get feedback from you if you find bugs as early as possible and to get a stable release at the end. The order of stability depends among other things as well on you.
If you find bugs please report them into the Sugar Labs bug tracker indicating the 0.95.x version in the ticket version field. If you have hardware from OLPC you can use the 12.1.0 builds for the i686 architecture (XO 1 and XO 1.5) (there are currently no XO 1.75 builds yet). Those builds include Sugar 0.95.x. Hardware specific bugs especially with the new 1.75 hardware please report at the OLPC bug tracker. The current development version is as well available in Fedora 17 and sugar-jhbuild (sugar* master branches).
